We all know that in any area of our life there is always a plan B. This also works in the case of wedding dresses. If you do not find the perfect one for you, it can be adapted or repaired.
Unfortunately we are born equal, but actually, during our life we are not equal at all. There are girls who have the chance to wear Haute Couture wedding dresses on their unique wedding day, but, on the other hand there are girls who are crying because they do not have enough money to afford a new wedding dress. However, do you remember the story of Cinderella and their Godmother? Well, there is one Godmother for every girl, and if they cannot wear Haute Couture or they cannot purchase an expensive, new wedding dress, they can buy a second hand one and then they need the skill necessary for wedding dress repair.
Most of the times, when a girl is not rich, she is very skilful so she will not need a tailor in order to repair her wedding dress, and she can save that money. Here is what you need, not only for wedding dress repairs, but also for learning the technique of tailoring which can be very useful, because our body is unique and we must adapt any item of clothing to it.
First you need a room, or part of a room with a table which must be directly illuminated. Here you will keep the following pieces of equipment: the tape measure, the scissors which are essential in tailoring. They must not be very large and the handles rings must be big enough in order to help you feel comfortable using them. The tips must be very sharp because they are necessary to cut useless threads. You must take into consideration that a wedding dress may be full of such threads.
Furthermore, you need a 1 meter ruler. If you put on the wedding dress and you see that it is too large for you, it must be taken in. You have to stitch it manually, and then try it on. If it still does not match you, a ruler will help you draw correctly the line of the new measure.
To continue with, as a wedding dress requires much hand stitching, you obviously need a thimble to protect your middle finger. Moreover, you must choose carefully the needles and the thread you need and pins are also useful to join two pieces of material which must then be stitched together. Your sewing machine must have a high quality needle and it depends of course on the thickness of the material.
When the wedding dress repair is ready, whether you have had to take it in or to enlarge it, to cut or lengthen it, or only to consolidate its stitches, at the end of these operations it must be ironed. At this point you must be very careful and it is useless to say that you must use the ironing board and a special thin cloth. Now you can take a coat hanger and put your wedding dress on it carefully and with a sigh of relief you can now wait for the wedding day.

Simplicity Is the Secret

It is not easy to find a wedding dress according to your tastes. That is why any bride can be happy when she finds somewhere guidance on where to find a very simple wedding dress. Fairy tale wedding dresses are the dream of any woman in the world. Valentino suggests you such romantic and charming wedding dress collection.
Girdles made of lace and skirts made of tulle are part of the wedding dresses made of luxury fabrics. Tiaras and long veils are chosen for a fairy tale bride. Very traditional and symbolic for the wedding day, the veil can reach 1, 2 or 3 meters, according to the way you want to wear it: to cover your face or not. There are wedding dress models without veil.
Valentino collections offer you a classical design, with simple cuts and you will look gorgeous. A simple wedding dress will underline the beauty of the bride; it must not be more shimmering than her. Designers all over the world actually opt for simplicity and elegance. The bride is sensual, feminine and mysterious because of the wedding dress which at first sight does not appear uncommon.
This simplicity highlights the bride’s traits and her splendour. Charles Nolan suggests a simple wedding dress, with delicate embroidery in the upper part and thin braces. It is very long and its cut is advantageous for each woman because the waist line is not underlined. In the case of this dress the hairstyle must not be sophisticated and the veil is not necessary.
Another model in Charles Nolan’s collection is also stylish and elegant, but it features a very interesting neck line, which matches perfectly with a simple hair loop. This model is recommended for women whose shoulders are a little wider. As far as the length is concerned Nolan has opted this time for a contemporary style, highlighting the bride’s legs.
To continue with, Gianfranco Ferre comes up with a simple and romantic wedding dress style. The only accessory is a silvery band in the upper part of the chest. The dress is made of more thin fabrics, a little transparent, so that your body lines are delicately suggested. If you want to underline your bust and your shoulders, this dress is the best choice.
Jasmine Di Milo also highlights the bust, but the top is not a classical one. This model is advantageous for those ladies whose waist is not very thin. A free hairstyle and a colour of your hair which contrasts with the rest of your look make of you a fascinating bride.
Barbra Tfank suggests shorter wedding dresses with a special neck line which can fit any type of silhouette. The list can continue, but we consider it is enough for you to make a picture on where to find a simple wedding dress. You do not have to go on a trip in New York to meet these designers for example, but you can find similar models inspired from them in your country, in any specialized shop or you can look for them on the internet or even order them, or design them yourself. It is up to you, as you are the star of your wedding after all!
Beauty of St.Mawes Castle Don’t forget to visit them!!!
St.Mawes, a quaint village is located by the harbor at river Fal. This beautiful region, with its abundant natural charm and historical marvels attract tourists throughout the year. The Cornish coastline that surrounds St Mawes was the setting of the popular television show, Poldark. There are two wonderful beaches on each side of the harbor which are ideal for both sunbathing as well as swimming. The sheltered location of the place is the haven for boats and yachts. There are also many restaurants and pubs that are located there and these are ideal places from where to watch the activities going on in the harbor.
The population at St Mawes is pretty much sea faring and there are yachts and boats that take anchorage there. The sheltered location of the place provides a perfect anchorage and the coast, the Carricks roads and the River Fal is easily accessible. The place not only boasts of wonderful beaches but there are many architectural structures that dot the city as well.
St.Mawes makes for an ideal family holiday destination. There are two beaches on either side of the harbor and both provide excellent opportunities for engaging in sunbathing as well as swimming. There are a number of shops, cafes, a bank, and hotels that are located around the harbor. There is also a sailing club that is located in the region. There are tennis courts that can be hired by the tourists. At St. Mawes there are many ferries that are available at the main harbor. These take the tourists on short trips across the River Fal to Falmouth or across the river Percuil to Anthony Head. There are also coastal footpaths that allow the visitors to go for long, lovely walks along the coast.
One of the attractive spots in the region is the St. Mawes Castle. It was built when Henry VII was in power to defend himself against the French. The attack never happened but the structure with its circular bastions is a wonderful example of the Tudor military architecture. From the castle the visitors can get some great views of the town of Falmouth. The castle is taken care of by the English Heritage and is open for viewing throughout the year. You must definitely visit the castle while you are on a trip to the region.
Pendennis is the sister castle of St. Mawes castle. It is situated on the opposite side of the Fal estuary. Both these castles add to the evocative landscape of the region. The castles were constructed between 1539 and 1545 to defend the region. These are two of the best historical structures of the region and a visit to these places would acquaint you of the rich history of the region.
The central tower of Pendennis comprises four well decorated floors. The tower can be entered by crossing a bridge to the third floor. The interiors of the tower have been elaborately done with carvings of a monk, Tudor roses a cherub, and fleur-de-lis. The gun ports of the castles cover all the possible angles of approach and reveal how careful the architects were in their planning the fort. There were no chances taken as far as the security of the place was concerned. The castle was very strongly fortified and it would not have been easy for the enemy to break through. It is one of the best examples of architecture of the Tudors and till today stands a testimony to their architectural talents.
St. Mawes too has gun platforms that are as well designed as Pendennis. There are gun placements that are located in the upper deck to release the smoke. There are many canons that are on display at the gun room. When you look around you would still be able to see the big sockets in the walls that held the beams that were used to maneuver the canons. The two forts were not used at the time of Henry VII. The defenses were further improved by Queen Elizabeth I after the attack on Mounts and Penzance by Spain in 1595. There was the possibility of a full scale invasion therefore the castles were fortified.
The two castles were used by the Royalists at the time of the English civil war. However the commander realized that St Mawes situated down the side of the hill cannot be defended against a land attack. He therefore surrendered the castle to the Roundheads after he was confronted. Pendennis, controlled by Sir John Arundel and Sir Henry Killigrew could withhold the attack for almost six months. It is located on the top of a hill and was therefore much better placed to ward off attacks.

Previously there was a coal beacon that burned here for many centuries till in 1834 a lighthouse was constructed. It helps ships travel through the dangerous Manacles Socks. The lighthouse is open to public during summers. It was also the site for Fraggle rock, a well known television series.
St. Anthony battery
This place used to hold an important place in defending Falmouth and the Carricks roads. A tour of the place would reveal the remains of innumerable fortifications. At the time of the WWI the place was used for the purpose of training of the army and during WWII there were gun batteries that were stationed there. National trust owns the headland.

The Time of Death Approximation Judging the Time of Death (TOD)
When a victim dies, medical investigators approximate the time frame, usually a two to four-hour gap of time with the help of various signs. Following are the signs, which help them to determine them the time of death:
Different signs are used by the medical investigators to estimate the time of death. The time frame usually is two to four hours between the victim's death. Following are some of the signs:
* After the death, there is an instant stiffening or rigidity of the muscles. This is called Rigor Mortis.
* Blood pooling known as lividity.
* Body core temperature.
* The corneas in the eyes cloud.
* Proof of decompositional process.
* The absence or presence of purge fluid.
* The body tissue dryness.
The brain and the liver are most commonly used to find out the body core temperature, as they are high in mass and density. There is a fall in the body temperature toward the surrounding temperature. The rate of fall of the body temperature is one-and-a-half degrees per hour. Depending on the factors such as the amount of fat, the amount of blood loss, the amount of type of clothing worn by the victim, the location of body such as near a heating or air-conditioning vent, inside a cooler the body temperature varies. It also depends on the weather conditions like air temperature, wind and precipitation (rain or snow).
Shoe Print Casting
A three-dimensional impression of footwear can be obtained by casting. Plaster of Paris was the most ordinary casting technique used by experts in the past. But, using plaster of Paris was a messy and not so successful procedure. Casting footwear impression has been made easier and more successful by the use of newer and better quality dental stone casting materials and simpler casting methods developed in recent years.
But the weight of the dental stone causes soft surfaces such as snow to collapse. Therefore, these traditional methods using heavy casting materials do not work well on soft surface such as snow. Hence, the use of Snow Print Wax or paraffin wax and sulfur casting have emerged as alternative methods to cast footwear impressions in snow.
Sulfur casting is used, sometimes by the investigators and experts to make a mold of the impression in snow. Sulfur is melted and then cooled to a temperature just above its crystallization point. Then, the liquid sulfur is rapidly poured into the snow impression. This method is used for casting with the help of melted sulfur. When the sulfur comes in contact with the snow, it cools quickly due to the cold temperature of the snow and immediately recrystallizes, thus capturing the impression. To allow the inner areas to be cooled completely, the cast must be left untouched for at least 30 minutes. As the sulfur casts are fragile and brittle in nature, they must be handled carefully.

The Most Shocking Crime Records in Recent Times
Virginia Tech Massacre
When Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 of his fellow students and teachers on the Virginia Tech campus, before turning the gun on himself, many raised fingers at the way the crime was carried out in broad daylight. Not only was it the most horrifying campus shootout ever to happen in America, it was also an event that unearthed many controversial discussions as to how this incident was carried out. Why weren’t the other students informed about a mentally distressed student when the counsellors had knowledge about it? How did the mentally deranged person obtain a gun and why the media didn’t react even after hearing from the troubled South Korean after he killed 2 students in the dorm, before proceeding to carry out the other shootouts?
The Wrestler’s Tragedy
One would generally associate a lot of hatred and anger with a double murder-suicide act. But interestingly enough, toxicologists found no traces of that in World Wrestling Entertainment star Chris Benoit’s body after he carried out the heinous crime of killing his young son and wife and then hanging himself. Though the wrestling champion had traces of steroids in his body, possibly used to negate out earlier substance abuse, the experts could not find traces of any such substances that could trigger such immense anger to set off the crime. With no suicide note left behind, the incident paved way for huge amounts of speculations all over.
OJ Exposed!
How difficult would it be to nab a person who duped you and was selling off your precious things unlawfully? You would imagine it to be easy to burst into a Las Vegas hotel room with a few friends and putting a stop to the racket by demanding he give your things back or face some very unpleasant music. All would have worked out probably, had it not been for a person present there who caught the entire action on tape. Now OJ is waiting for his trial to begin. He has already pleaded not guilty to several accounts of crime including kidnapping and possession of arms.
Where did Madeline Go?
When her parents left Madeleine McCann in their hotel room on the night of May 3, little had they known that that would be the last time they saw their 3-year-old. The girl was reportedly missing when her parents returned from dinner that night. With investigators from across the world trying to solve the mystery, little Madeline was still untraceable. The hand of an intercontinental child trafficking group was not ruled out and investigators also questioned the parents, Kate and Gerry, after traces of Madeleine’s DNA was found in a car the family had hired. The parents alleged the investigations were inconclusive, and even after celebrities like David Beckham were roped in, the child remained untraceable.
Suicide Attack at Glasgow Airport
In an incident that resembled the 9/11 attacks to a certain extent, a couple of British born Muslims drove a jeep into the Glasgow airport, causing a huge explosion that led to considerable damage. While the driver succumbed to his burn injuries, the passenger, Bilal Abdullah, a doctor, survived to show the world how even education fails to avenge the Islamic hatred towards the western world. The duo was also suspected of planting car bombs all over London before carrying out the suicide bid at the airport.
